Cream stew is very popular Yōshoku dish (Japanese style western food) consisting of meat and vegetable cooked with the ready-made roux.
This is almost same as making Japanese curry.
Since I cannot get ready-made roux from Japanese supermarket right now, I cooked without roux. I use mochi flour (sweet rice flour) and this is gluten free stew.
No more ready-made roux and cook this gluten free cream stew from now on.
Recipe is very simple.
